Description:
Color aerial photograph of Seadrift development made into postcards. There are 2 of the same postcards. The caption on the back of each postcard reads, "Sea-Drift, located in Marin County, just forty minutes from downtown San Francisco, on the natural sand-split between Stinson Beach and Bolinas. Sea-Drift Lagoon is land-locked. The water level is controlled and protected for sailing and swimming. The Pt. Reyes National Sea Shore lies (just) a few miles to the Northwest. Color photo by Aero Photographers, Inc." It is printed by Natural Color by Mike Roberts, Berkley 2, Calif.
Note the secondary lagoon to East where the Dipsea Road side of the development now exists, and the causeway to the Highway 1 which was removed in the1960s. See notes.
